These kinds of fixes don't usually have a 'cut and paste' answer that you seek.
Does it still receive and transmit on the right freq?
Do you have the equipment needed for checking radios? Such as a freq counter and a DMM for starters? You will need to see if the radio PLL and oscillator circuits are working or not. Test the VCO voltage with a voltmeter to TP2 - which is the top bare lead of R116. But if that is OK, you will need to dig further and have the gear to do it with.

How did it fail; was it suddenly or were you digging inside of it?
It could also be the counter has failed. Just not enough info here, really. If you have no way to test the radio's output freq, your best bet is to send it off for repair.
i took your advise robb and sent it to the shop. what kind of power can i get out of a 2166 driver and a 1969 mit final for this radio? just curious is all? will it do the things i have heard ( 40-50 watts ) on a single final
